Ty Simpson Expected to be a First-Round Pick
ESPN's Adam Schefter said on the Pat McAfee Show on Monday that he can say confidently that Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson "will be a first-round draft pick" next month. "Talking to front offices, that's what I believe," Schefter said. Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza is expected to go first overall to the Las Vegas Raiders this year, but beyond him, it's unclear exactly where Simpson might go in the first round. Simpson's draft stock has been on the rise in recent weeks, and ESPN's Dan Orlovsky even went as far as to say that he thinks Simpson is the best QB prospect in this year's class. In his final year with the Crimson Tide in 2025, Simpson completed 305 of his 473 pass attempts for 3,567 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, and five interceptions in 15 games. He led the SEC in both completions and pass attempts. Simpson should be the second signal-caller taken at the end of April, but he might be more of a project at the position in the NFL, as he played in just 16 games in his first three collegiate seasons at Alabama.
